We’re on the starting blocks and I’ve heard that I’ll be showing at The Hub in Church Lane, Upper Beeding this year. It’s a new venue for us but I know it quite well, having lurked there with a sketchbook and pencil in my very early days of re-becoming an artist. To say they’re friendly and welcoming doesn’t do them justice, and if you add to that their cakes and coffee – well!

There will be others of us artifying the place some time in May, and as you might expect, some of mine will have their own digital sideshow so visitors might want to be armed with a smart device to scan QR codes and the Artivive app that makes paintings come to life. Fancy trying that out? Install the app and point it at the image below:

As I write, though, we’re all experiencing some of the toughest times of our lives. Nowhere near as tough as those trapped in war zones, but tough nonetheless, so I’ll be thinking about how to make any sales matter to people who need help.
